This one held the weight of the bow at full draw (1981) Another design called "Moment Transfer" was also tested by some archers. It is our experience that whenever a bow reaches over 85% let off it is not a safe design.

My favorite two things from those ads are:

in the second one it mentions that it is available for split limb bows. What split limbs were around then!?!?!

and then, and the best, is in the last add by Allen..."Short length --- 48" overall" That cracks me up.

I liked the 48" thing too. The split limb it refers to was the first limbs to recess the wheels into the limb instead of mounting it to an external bracket. (we've come along way))

How about that maple riser and only 4#'s at 48"'s. I'm pretty sure that young girl is holding a Jennings T star bow. I still have one of those that has been rebuilt and converted to a hoyt fast flight cable system,,,,,,,,,,when fast flight was brand new:rotfl:

I had an allen original when I was young also.. primitive by todays standards but got my first doe with a bow from this platform!! Bought it from my uncle for $20 and it had no blood on it prior! proud, I was!
